Salsify

As an alternative to mashed potatoes, this would be perfect alongside a peppered tuna steak.

Serves: 6 to 8 as a side

Ingredients

2 pounds salsify, cleaned and cut into small chunks

1 clove garlic

2-½ tablespoons butter

¾ cup milk

1 tablespoon horseradish

Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Place salsify and garlic into a saucepan with water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cook for 10 minutes until salsify is soft enough to mash. Add butter, milk and horseradish. Mash salsify and ingredients together with a potato masher or puree in a food processor. Salt and pepper to taste.
